Let's Talk About the Weather - The New Temp Thread

Another "cool" front blew through Indy last night with a reinforcing short of cool air. Lots of wind and temps today in the 60's. Maybe some light frost tomorrow. We are still way down in the rainfall department but we got half an inch Wed. afternoon and that was as much as we received in all of August!

The forecasters here have also been protecting their behinds with lots of disclaimers. Seems they just can't nail down the route that the big weather system coming from the west will take. But my wife and I are ready. The pantry is full and I have my trusty can opener all oiled and ready to go.

When Alfie and I hit the trail this morning it was 42 degrees. WOW! A real heat wave. But our winds have picked up so I still wore my cap with ear flaps, my hoody and my leather jacket with the collar turned up. I'm a wimp. I admit it. But Alfie loves the chilly weather. Only thing that would make him happier would be a nice thick layer of snow for him to romp through and stick his nose into.

It wasn't 42 here this morning but with my long sleeve pullover (and no coat / jacket) it was bearable as I had my boy, Gizzie out for his 10 minute run. Phil, Alfie and Gizzie must be cut from the same cloth. Gizzie loves the snow and cold but hates hot weather! He bites at the snow and normally eats a little of it as he must think that it's "play food."

If you recall my mentioning a buddy that lives in London, Ontario and his 55 inches of snow from Monday - Wednesday. He told me that is more snow than they got all of last year - combined. He also related that the Lake Effect "streamer" finally moved East and started pelting Woodstock, Ontario (just 30 miles East) with snowfall at the rate of 3" per hour. By then, he had bright sunshine. Also 30 miles to his west, they had NO snow on the ground and actually had a grass fire along the 401! Unreal. He may get in on this big weekend snowstorm, too.

Re: Let's Talk About the Weather - The New Temp Thread

As of right now, the big storm predicted for the weekend is expected to track through Iowa and Wisconsin so the heavy snow will stay well north of Chicago, rain, sleet and freezing drizzle here. Bears and Pats are playing at Soldier Field on Sunday, high temp is supposed to be 17, dropping to 3 at night with winds gusting to 40 mph. Should be interesting.

That is why the meteorologists held off on "Gloom and Doom" forecasts in our area. The original thinking was that the storm was going to track up the Ohio River - putting the heaviest snow from Springfield, IL, thru Indy and hooking up to Lake Erie. Now it appears that the storm will track across N. Ill and Indiana which indeed puts the heaviest snow in Wisconsin.

Re: Let's Talk About the Weather - The New Temp Thread

They already have a Winter Weather Advisory for Central IL and that seems just due to the whiteout conditions and not actual snowfall, as they are only expecting an inch. But I have seen a 1-2" snow whip into blinding white outs and 3' mini drifts.
